CID 486265 (#1 of 1): Unchecked return value (CHECKED_RETURN)
19. check_return: Calling function "PyArg_UnpackTuple(PyObject *, char const *, Py_ssize_t, Py_ssize_t, ...)" without checking return value (as is done elsewhere 64 out of 65 times).
            PyArg_UnpackTuple(PyList_GET_ITEM(temp, i),
                              "", 2, 2, &cls, &mro);

This appears to be harmless. The contents of the "temp" list are added by mro_subclasses, and that function only adds tuples of 2 elements. That means that the call to PyArg_UnpackTuple cannot fail.

It might be better to explicitly document this, either using an assert() or by calling Py_FatalError.

Ah, you are right! Good catch :)

I have marked CID 486265 as intentional / ignore.
